Blended First Aid Courses<\/span><\/a> offer the opportunity to learn First Aid in a variety of ways. This type of course combines online learning with the practical, hands-on elements. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We currently offer the following <\/span>First Aid courses<\/span><\/a> as a blended option:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
First Aid At Work (FAW)<\/b><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Small businesses often take our <\/span>First Aid at Work open and blended courses<\/span><\/a> in order to satisfy their needs assessment and have a member of staff who is First Aid Trained. Even if it isn’t a requirement, it is wise to assign someone to oversee First Aid arrangements. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
This includes taking care of First Aid equipment, managing the facilities, and calling for help if necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\nOnline First Aid Courses<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
On the other hand, online courses provide a convenient way to learn First Aid <\/span>without having to leave the house. <\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are no practical components, but the student can learn in their own time and at their own pace. This type of course can be beneficial for those who need to learn quickly or who may not have the opportunity to attend a physical <\/span>First Aid Course.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
First aid only: <\/strong>These are very good for updating<\/span> yourself or giving an insight into First Aid, however, these do not fufill the duties or are recognised under The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981<\/a><\/strong> as fulfilling the criteria for First Aid training.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
This cost effective, efficient learning experience helps keep your business safe and compliant – current courses<\/span> cost between \u00a315 and \u00a365 each<\/b> – you can even pay online. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
